I went through the same thing when launching paid Q&A site Uclue.com except that Uclue operates on a much smaller scale. We obtained our seed questions by giving former Google Answers Researchers some seed money with which they could post questions. (Many of those people also became Uclue's researchers). We used a press release distribution service (because we are a much smaller organization than Mahalo). Because there was much interest (due to the recent demise of Google Answers) this was successful. I have spent some time at Mahalo Answers and do admire the quality of implementation of the website. In particular the process to sign up and post one's first comment is really smooth and seamless. We could learn many lessons from how well you have done it. Good luck!
